Bathymetric Surveying Solutions

Velocity, Position, Depth, and CTD Measurement

The HydroSurveyor and CastAway-CTD provide the most easy-to-deploy, turn-key yet comprehensive solution for bathymetry data collection. Sound speed corrections from the seamlessly-integrated CastAway CTD are downloaded wirelessly on-the-fly and are interpolated in both space and time. In the field, this means accuracy with unmatched efficiency to benefit any survey project's schedule and budget.

Even intricate surveys will not require the purchase of specialized, complex software with unwanted features. The HydroSurveyor is built around user-friendly software, with automatic data gridding and interpolation. Full water column velocity mapping combined with SonTek's exclusive 5-beam depth sounding and acoustic bottom tracking (for boat positioning when GPS is lost) provides a reliable, complete survey solution within a single package.
